Finally, Nintendo detailed the rules for the single-elimination tournament, which will feature four-player battles with a four stock and five-minute limit. The top two people will advance to the next round, with the first three rounds having items on. However, the grand finale will have items off in a 1-vs.-1 matchup.

In addition, Nintendo announced the GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U, letting people use GameCube controllers with Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo's home console. For more on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, be sure to check out IGN's wiki.
